Further analysis by Sky Sports' Monday Night Football team found that a similar discussion took place between Pogba and Rashford, as well as Anthony Martial, before Rashford converted against Chelsea on the opening weekend.

United boss Solskjaer later clarified "the two of them are the designated penalty takers."

Pogba was fouled for United's penalty at Molineux

"Why is there a debate on who takes the penalty? I don't like it," fumed Neville.

"There should never be a debate. Pogba has missed four in the last 12 months. You'd think he has had his chance. Rashford scored last week - take the penalty. But there wasn't a leader out there. Something wasn't right. They couldn't make a decision between them.

"Initially, I was fuming with Pogba. But when I looked at what happened with last week's penalty with Chelsea, it was weird."

Martial's clinical strike had given United a deserved first-half lead before Neves curled in a delicious long-range shot past David De Gea.

After Pogba was then upended in Wolves' box, the midfielder's spot-kick was pushed away by Patricio to spark the major post-match talking point.

An unimpressed Neville continued: "It isn't right. We don't come on air tonight and ask each other which pieces of analysis we're doing - we decide before we come on. They should decide in the dressing room. It's embarrassing.

"This is a Manchester United penalty - this isn't a tombola. This is not under-fives football on the playground."

Pressed to explain United's penalty-taking policy, Solskjaer confirmed that Rashford and Pogba were United's "designated penalty shooters and it's up to them then and there to decide 'this is mine'."

Pogba's miss was his fourth in the last year - the most by any Premier League player.

But responding to Solskjaer's explanation, Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher argued: "That will never work. You will get that on pitch conversation every time United get a penalty. You don't need that conversation. The manager needs to be stronger. Or Paul Pogba should think of the team and say Rashford is the best penalty taker. It's cost them two points tonight."

Rashford, who set up Martial's opener, sought to defend Pogba.

"Paul wanted to take it, it's that simple. He has scored countless penalties for us. But it's normal to miss one.

"I took one last week, it was no problem for me for him to take one this week."
